The clouds are down on the mountains but it's wisteria time on the banks of Lake Como. HFF to everyone. Enjoy the weekend.

On the return flight from Milan Malpensa.

When we took the funicular from Como up to Brunate the sun was setting over the lake and Alps. Looking northwest Monte Rosa on the Swiss-Italian border is the highest peak left of centre. Brunate is located at a height of 2436 ft (715m) above sea level while Como is at 659 ft (201m).

Well the rain certainly stopped today! Perfect blue skies and a visit to the roof of the Duomo allowed this view of the snow-capped Alpine mountains.
